Sabima was founded in the early 1970's with a small production capacity for a very specific and limited market of audio-equipment. In those days the music industry was, except for a few big players, a meeting point for music lovers and fanatics who found it difficult to find in the market what their ears or minds really wanted in terms of natural music reproduction. The company was actually born directly from the production of another well-known brand: Rodec, which had started back in 1954.

Things really started to kick off in 1975, when Sabima bought Transtel. This company was at that time a distributor of a number of audio-brands such as Monitor Audio, Spendor and Radford. With the new activities, the new founded company Transtel-Sabima had the opportunity to become ditributor of the Denon-brand. The company obtained the reputation of high-quality and service-oriented enterprise. This expansion forced us to move to a larger location.

Throughout the years, the emphasis was put more and more to Rodec. What initially started as a cooperation between just three persons, grew to a production facility of about 20 persons. By this time, the production of Rodec had been commercialised and the Belgian-founded brand achieved a very special place in our product range.

A few years ago, Transtel-Sabima moved again to its present location. A facility that reflects every aspect of the company's profile. Despite the growth of our company and the severe competition in the audio-market, which is still ruled by a few majors, Transtel-Sabima remained loyal to its philisophy: always put the emphasis on quality rather than quantity, being service-minded and make products that are reliable, user-friendly and distinguishing. Moreover, Transtel-Sabima is still managed by the family of the initial founders. So the spirit is set to last for many years to come!
